admin — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 16:36:59 +0000

The following is a review on service, product or website mentioned in this article

In the past 4 months I’ve seen Affiliate Network grow rapidly, there’re so many Affiliate Network out there. But each affiliate network not created equal, so you have to choose selectively which Affiliate Network you want to work in, that fulfill your need to successful in Affiliate Marketing.

T3Leads

One of the interesting Pay Per Lead affiliate programs I’ve seen in recent days is the program at T3leads.com. T3leads focuses on the finance industry, which happens to be one of the most lucrative industries on the Internet. I’ve never seen payday loans affiliate program like this one, it directly cooperates with a large network of banks and other financial institutions.

There are no set payouts, T3leads sells generated leads through a unique auction system that allows its affiliates to make maximum profits. T3leads pays for each customer when they respond to your offers for qualified products and services.

T3leads offers the highest conversion rates in the industry with timely biweekly payouts. You can collect up to $65 for each new payday loans leads you generated. The progressive system automatically assesses each customer’s qualities and sells the application to the highest bidding lender, ensuring that you get the highest commissions for your buck. No other payday loan affiliate program works with more lenders at higher-paying rates than they do.

Become T3leads Publisher

So you want to join this lucrative Pay Per Lead affiliate network? Here is some basic information you need to know regarding T3leads Affiliate Program.

Registration. To join the Network, you must be an entity or an individual of at least eighteen (18) years of age, your website must generate a certain level of traffic quality.

Payout rates. There are no set payouts, T3leads.com operates on an auction basis that allows affiliates to make maximum profits. You can earn $1.00 up to $65.00 / accepted lead.

Payment Detail. Payment can be received via six different methods, each of which comes with different fee levels and threshold minimums. These payment avenues are:

ePassporte ($2 fee, $100 minimum)
Company Check ($0 fee, $300 minimum)
Bank Wire Transfer ($35 fee, $300 minimum)
WebMoney (1% fee, $100 minimum)
PayPal (3% fee, $100 minimum)
Fethard ($0 fee, $100 minimum)

T3Leads.com will pay earned revenue within fifteen (15) days of the end of the pay period twice a month. Any Affiliate with over $1k in weekly commissions can request weekly payments.

Referral Program. T3Leads offers the unique opportunity to earn 5% of the gross revenue generated by Affiliates you have referred.

Affiliate Dashboard. In the affiliate area, you’ll find some basic information and tools such as:

Real time statistics and sales data
Creative promo-tools provided online
Free technical and customer support
News and bonus offers

Summary

I emphasize again about its payout rate, there is no set payout level for each individual lead generated by a publisher. T3leads operates on quite a different model than many CPA-based networks. Instead of sending qualified leads to specific advertisers directly, waiting for the site visitors to convert as the advertiser sees fit, T3leads uses its own network of public websites to generate leads related to the finance industry. These leads are then sold to companies who bid for this information.

I really like this payout rate model and I think many affiliates like too, T3leads’s system assesses each customer’s qualities and sells the application to the highest bidding lender, so affiliates can get the highest commissions for our leads.

I recommend you sign up and try T3leads for yourself.

Wordpress plugin: Link Cloaking Plugin

admin — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 18:17:22 +0000

I just found a good Wordpress plugin to cloak affiliate links or any links I want, this plugin named as ‘Link Cloaking Plugin‘. Since I got problem with the GoCodes Wordpress plugin (Wordpress plugin to cloak links) when I trying to upgrade it, so I try to find another good alternatives to cloak any links. And my hunting ended at ‘Link Cloaking Plugin’.

I am still using GoCodes Wordpress plugin for this blog, because there’re quite many cloaked links using GoCodes in this blog that very time consuming if I convert those GoCodes cloaked links to ‘Link Cloaking Plugin’. But I have been using it on my other blogs.

I think ‘Link Cloaking Plugin’ has more features than other free similar Wordpress plugins like Gocodes, Affiliatemask, link-mask, permacop, etc. Here’s the features list taken from its official site:

Choose what to cloak – all links, only the links you specify or no links at all.
Choose where to cloak – posts, pages or both.
Configure the URL – you can set the “prefix” part of the URL (see examples below).
Exception list – links pointing to domains in this list will not be cloaked. For example, this is useful if you have chosen to cloak all links but don’t want to cloak the links to your own domains.
Compatible with all browsers – the link cloaker plugin doesn’t use JavaScript so it will work even for visitors that have disabled JS.
“Smart” cloaking – relative, ambiguous or malformed URLs will not be cloaked. Better safe than sorry.

And there’re three things I love from this plugin:

No need to change .htaccess file since ‘Link Cloaking Plugin’ does it automatically. Instead of GoCodes.
The hits statistic feature. Instead of other similar plugins don’t provide this feature, except GoCodes.
Its feature in managing cloaked links, you can do it manually or automatically cloak all external links. Just check it out how it works on your Wordpress dashboard under “Settings” and “Tools” menu.

If you are interesting to cloak affiliate links using another methods instead of using Wordpress plugin, please read my previous article – How to cloak affiliate links. There’re about three methods you can use to cloak your affiliate links or any links you want. Good luck!

1. Which are the best affiliate program / network?!

There’re so many affiliate program out there, and you always want to try all of them. This is fine, so you will know more detail about those affiliate programs since you had tried them. But note, please keep your work efficiently, don’t wasting your time and effort in trying all affiliate programs. Remember, your main effort is promoting and generating sales or leads.

Honestly, I don’t want to promote all affiliate networks. If I’ve joined in 30 affiliate programs, then I promote all of them, it’s certain that I will be stressed and frustrated. So what I need is just a few affiliate networks to promote. Here is my selected choice of affiliate network: Copeac, Pepperjam Network, Commission Junction, Pay Dot Com, Market Health, Leading Edge Cash. These affiliate networks are not always best for you, your experience and knowledge are your main consideration, so you can enjoy with the affiliate network at your choice.

2. What are the best products to promote?

An affiliate network usually provides hundreds even thousands of products, both digital and physical products. So what the best product to promote?. The right measure to promote a product is the product that related to your niche, high conversion rate, and popular or branded products. But actually you can choose any products that you wish to promote.

3. Promotional methods

Here’s my next question about affiliate marketing, how to promote affiliate products?. I had known some promotional methods such as: list building, PPC Marketing, and natural SEO promotion. Each type of promotional method has it self features. I guess I don’t need all of them, what I need is only one or two type of promotional methods that I can enjoy, and also can drive a lot of traffic and generate more sales.

4. How to generate sales or leads?

Promotion is not enough to generate sales or leads. Beside promotion, you need several ways or methods to generate sales. Here the ways to convert traffic into sales: good sales letter or promotional sentence, and nice, simple, and attractive landing page. Better landing page and better sales letter will also generate more sales. This is absolutely about affiliate marketing technical aspect and marketing skills.

How about you!?

The questions above emerge from my problem and confusion in applying affiliate marketing. Then the questions above will emerge an action list in applying affiliate marketing. I hope it will bring me closer to successful affiliate.

I know the list above is too simple to explain about affiliate marketing, each process of affiliate marketing and questions above need more knowledge and exercise to become successful.

Is affiliate something interesting for you?!, if the answer is Yes, I’d like to hear your opinion and your experience about affiliate marketing.
